No Fuel Pressure

[65FBE2]

I have a wierd problem, The car starts fine then over about 5 min's you can watch the fuel pressure slowly drop from 6 psi to 0. I have changed the fuel line to a 3/8 line and I know there are no kinks, I just changed the fuel pump to a new Carter HP, I have removed the fuel pick up from the tank and made sure there were no problems with the inlet. I have blowen air threw the line from the front to the back and all is clear. The fuel filter is clean. the only thing I can thik of that I haven't looked at is the accentric on the front of the cam but I have never heard of that failing. What else is there? Has anyone seen this before?

does the engine continue to run? if so then perhaps the gauge is bad. if not then you may have a vapor lock problem.

The motor will still run but only at idle. I just put a gas can at the rear of the car and unhooked the fuel line from the tank, placed a long rubber hose on the fuel line and put the other end into the gas can to rule out any in tank problems. Same result. This is a factory 3/8 pre bent fuel line and the car ran fine for about a year. I can't believe it just started to vapor lock out of the blue.

Try swaping the pump out ? Does that pump have a built in filter like the stock pumps do ? Not to insult you but it could happen... did you put the filter in backwards ?
